THE LANGUAGE OF LEADERSHIP: The words that define how majhis are seen and understood in the Rohingya refugee response

By Translators without Borders

01/10/2020

In the refugee camps in Ukhiya or Teknaf, you will hear the term majhi a lot; their appointed role is the sharing of official information, with some assuming a leadership role, too. Research by Translators without Borders shows, however, that the effectiveness of majhis as Rohingya leaders and communicators is still constrained by a lack of language resources.

You can download the report from here. 

The project was part of the common service and funded by UK Department for International Development and UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office managed by UNOPS. And funds from the EU humanitarian aid in partnership with ACF.
